Re: [PATCH] kernel: auditfilter: looping issue, memory leak if has2 or more AUDIT_FILTERKEYs

From: Chen Gang
Date: Wed Apr 10 2013 - 06:19:14 EST




in another function: audit_data_to_entry:

a. has the same issue for case AUDIT_WATCH.

b. has an new issue for AUDIT_DIR:
after AUDIT_DIR succeed, it will set rule->tree.
next, the other case fail, then will call audit_free_rule.
but audit_free_rule will not free rule->tree.


I find them only by reading code, not test them.
and I also do not know about the related features.
so please help check my 2 opinions whether are correct.


welcome any suggestion or completions.

thanks.

:-)
